SUMMER CINEMA ON THE STEPS!



SHOP (Vintage Lounge and Arts Venue), based on the Christmas Steps and 20th Century Flicks Video Shop have arranged a summer film screening in the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter.

The screening will take place on the Christmas Steps themselves, as with previous events such as the Bristol Festival of Photography, as the Steps provide a natural amphitheatre perfect for such an event.

The bar will be provided by the 3 Sugar Loves and there will popcorn and food available from local micro-bakert, Tasty Mother's Tucker too.

The genius film choice has been selected by 20th Century Flicks and will commence at sundown (around 10pm).

Hope to see you there!!

Valentine's Heartisan Market: PICS!

Saturday 9th February saw the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter Valentine's Artisan Market win the hearts of Bristol!  

It was so charming, coupled with all the love in the air, it even managed to convince the rain to stay away for what seemed like the only five hours over the whole weekend it didn't precipitate!

We had some fantastic stalls gracing the beautiful Christmas Steps, delicious heart shaped goodies, preserves and cakes, taxidermy, flowers, jewellery, original art work ... but anyway, have a look for yourself below...

Next market will be for Easter on Saturday 30th March, with maybe a litte egg rolling competition...!
